Economic crimes, as a huge tumor of social progress, threaten thedevelopment of economy and society all the time. As an important executive ofstate power, public servants control a lot of public resources, their economiccrimes affect the relationship between masses relationship and the status of theruling party seriously. Private entrepreneurs, the leading figures in the processof social and economic development, their economic crimes not only causeenormous economic loss, affect employee employment, but destroy the normaleconomic order. The vast majority of cases show that the two types of economiccrimes see economic interests as the prime target and indicate the existence ofcollusion and power-for-money deal to some extent, there are some links despiteof some significant differences. Therefore, this paper studies the both economiccrimes from a comparative perspective and draws the following conclusionsFirst, according to the descriptive statistical analysis of multiple indexes ofindividual and criminal property, combined with collecting some typical casesof economic crimes in recent years, this paper concludes the criminalcharacteristics of the public and private entrepreneurs: collusion betweengovernment and businessmen is serious, especially in the economic crimes ofpublic servants. Bribery, as the main type of public servants on economic crime,mostly takes place in the monopolies of the governments and urban constructiondepartments centralizing power and resources, however, non-public servants’economic crimes are mainly concentrated in the real estate and banking businessby financing and enterprise management. In a word, the above results reflect thelack of regulation and abuse of power of public servants, the non-publicservants are lack of management, deception, illegal operation for profiteering.Second, based on the analysis of four typical economic crime cases ofpublic and non-public servants and combined with behavior and managementscience theory, the paper gets the mechanism of economic crimes of the illegalpersonnel. According to the mechanism of economic crimes and the summary and generalization of current studies about economic crime of public and non-public servants,this paper gives a comprehensive comparison to the factorswhich influence the economic crimes from the macro, meso and microperspective. Finally, it selects6observable individual attribute index and typesof crime which could be analyzed by logistic regression model. Results showthat: the factors such as growth environment, educational background, age, rankand the type of office can influence the forms of public servants bribe crimes,the descending order of the influence is the rank, educational background,growth environment, age and the type of servants.Third, based on prospecttheory, the paper analyses the decision process ofthe both economic crime. Results show that their economic crimes result fromrisk-seeking, and non-public servants are more risky and have higher referencepoints and greater amount of illegal assets than public servants; it’s moreeffective to reduce corruption and its harm by increasing assets and futureearnings under the condition of specific loss aversion coefficient andsupervision and punishment, but it doesn’t always work. Only by strengtheningthe supervision and punishment mechanism can the economic crimes befundamentally curbed. Although their common influence factor is the lossaversion coefficient, controlling loss aversion coefficient of public officialswould be more feasible.Fourth, after analyzing the risk of money laundering in real estate and themajor means of money laundering in the development and trade of real estate, itgets the result that the illegal public servants pay more attention to safety，theyoften select transactions for money laundering with strong concealment, whichcan be finished in a short time. However, the non-public servants focus more onprofit maximization, they mainly put the illegal money into enterprisemanagement by false accounting for money laundering with strong fraudulence.Finally, the paper puts forward some countermeasures and suggestionsaround the common features and different characteristics of economic crimes，hoping to provide relevant organizations with some decision supports on the keyprevention areas and monitor methods.
